DRV201: May i know the comparison of PWM mode and linear mode?

Part Number: DRV201

Hi, 

Since i don't what is the advantage and disadvantage of linear and PWM mode. 

I want to know how these two mode operate and what is the comparison result of these mode? 

Great thanks for your help .

  • Gary,

    The DRV201A is the newer device in the family of VCM that can be used for auto-focus.  PWM mode is more efficient than linear...there are plots in the datasheet comparing the efficiency.  

    For OIS, that will require a closed-loop on position.  The device is only a driver that can move a lens out and back for focusing...there is no closed loop on position.
